Fleets Met on the Slopes
On
Ground Hogs Day and Super Bowl Weekend, members of three J24 fleets
and two districts got together to hit the slopes. The idea was
formulated during the Downeast Regatta last September and thanks to
some dedicated folks, took place at Loon Mountain on February 2nd
and 3rd.
Friday
night sailors from Falmouth, Marion, and Newport enjoyed extra large
burgers and beers at the Woodstock Station Brewery. While listening
to some live music, some shied away from a hungry looking,
under-stuffed bear. Saturday most hit the slopes at Loon Mountain,
enjoying great lessons, first gondola rides, icy patches and snowy
patches. Skiers and non-skiers met up at the Summit Cafe for a noon
time snack. At the end of the day, many were ready to hit the pool or
the pub to unwind. Saturday night, the Sudofsky family opened their
home for a chili and pulled-pork potluck. It is safe to say, good
times were had by all. Those who weren't too tired out hit the
slopes for incredible conditions on Sunday.
We are hoping to make this an annual event and get more people involved. It was a great opportunity to get to know people that you only see during regattas, when we are usually distracted by sailing. Keep your eyes peeled for news on next year's event!
